The former New South Wales forward, who has enjoyed a long and storied career in the NRL<\/a>, is off-contract at the Cronulla Sharks<\/a> at the end of this season, and his next destination is far from decided.<\/p>\n While McInnes had been in discussions with the Perth Bears<\/a> about joining their inaugural 2027 squad, there is a new NRL<\/a> team interested in his services.<\/p>\n Love Rugby League reports that the Melbourne Storm<\/a> have shown interest in the Sharks forward and are currently monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n The PNG Chiefs<\/a> are keeping tabs on McInnes, though any move there would not materialise until 2028.<\/p>\n A serious rival offer from England<\/a> has complicated the picture, with the York Knights<\/a> pushing hard to make the versatile forward the centrepiece of their squad next season.<\/p>\n Central to that pitch is increased central funding heading York’s way, which has put marquee recruitment firmly on the agenda.<\/p>\n McInnes sits at the top of their targets list, and the club are hopeful he can fill a similar figurehead role to the one Damien Cook<\/a> has taken on at Castleford Tigers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hull FC<\/a> have been linked with the forward, but it is understood he does not feature in their plans.<\/p>\n McInnes’ future remains unsolved, but York are determined to convince him to join the Super League<\/a>, rather than stay in the NRL<\/a>.<\/p>\n
